Big win - Wandpen now supports Google Docs! 🤩 Google Docs had been tricky to integrate with because of it's usage of canvas rendering instead of HTML. After a few back and forth with Google team, Wandpen now supports Google Docs. I am excited. 🥰

Implemented a feature to automatically take users to this page when a user successfully installs the extension. This should minimize the user feeling deserted after installing the extension and confused what to do next.

Unfortunately uninstallation rate is not looking good. When a user successfully installs the extension, there is no flow for the user to proceed with the next steps. Most users aren't even aware that you need to select some text to proceed with AI actions. I need to work on making it obvious.

Chrome web store has introduced a feature to easily share extensions! Give me one reason why you can't go to Wandpen's Chrome page and share the extension with your friends? 😏

Introducing Chat Mode on Wandpen! 🥳 You can use it to ask out of context questions when writing for example research purposes. This works anywhere so you are not restricted to just text box & inbox elements as in the older version of Wandpen. Just press Option + W to access the Wandpen modal. 😉

Wandpen.com installation rate is on a positive projection now. 💚

What is your preferred way of setting up a domain? Two A records pointing to the IP and handling traffic routing from your reverse proxy or using cname record to point to your main domain?

Remember you are not trying to hit $10K MRR, you are trying to become a: better engineer better designer better SEO better writer better customer support agent better marketer All at once. Sure, it will take a lot of time than you expect. Keep going.

Cancelled my Claude subscription. I am finding myself visiting Claude a very little since Windsurf. And I am cooking chat mode on Wandpen.com that will completely replace my need for using Claude for writing related queries.

I am seeing a lot of vacancies for solution architect in the AI space. MoAIJobs alone had around 130 open positions for solution architect in the last 30 days. What's surprising me more is how I didn't meet a single solution architect in my real life so far.

I think this could be worded more perfectly this way: Asking how an AI engineer is any different from a full-stack engineer is like asking how a chef is any different from a cook?

The difference between an AI engineer and a full-stack engineer is that of chef and cook.

Yes!

Reading this post, I am realizing ML engineer as a job will be replaced soon. Except the top 1% who will get hired by leading LLM companies. Everyone else will simply transition to backend/frontend guy who integrates the above LLM APIs aka AI Engineer. (1/3)

People say AI will take all of our jobs. I am not sure how true it is. But I am 100% sure this job didn't exist 3 years ago. (This role is from HubSpot)

Icky question - Has anyone spotted a service that provides LLM API calls for free? I know GPU is not free but I am finding it hard to believe that no one has come up with any brilliant idea to offer it free and monetize in other creative ways.

AI developers had fun while it lasted. Companies are no longer hiring AI developers. MoAIJobs had only one position for AI developer in the last 3 months. If you are someone with the skillset of a developer, get into engineering as soon as possible.

Can any SEO experts help me figure out what might be causing this issue? I don't understand how the home page could have low text ratio given I have enough content.

Companies are finding out it's much cheaper to use LLMs for their ML tasks rather than doing classic ML. An ML engineer on average costs around $250K per year where as you can get bazillion API calls to LLMs for the same cost for a time range larger than this. (2/3)

Oh, hell no!

If you are an AI research startup, here is my humble advice to you: Please don't let your Machine learning engineers design and develop your website. They have zero taste.

I wanted to update some UI copy. So, I opened Windsurf and delete the existing copy. Instantly AI wrote the exact copy I planned to write. I am going to get replaced soon folks. 😭

o3 mini landed on Wandpen.com (thank you Chrome web store team for helping me ship it two days later) You can see it's taking noticeable amount of time to generate responses. I would suggest using 4o mini if you like to use GPT for your writing as it is much faster for general writing.
